Chapter 321: What a big game of chess

When the news reached the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, it had been a while. The Pingyang Marquis Mansion has already declined, and the Pingyang Marquis does not have many sources in his hands, especially about things related to the palace.

And Mrs. Hou is not sociable, and she has few sincere friends. In addition, although she took the master's medicine and woke up in time, it was not a big deal.

But after all, she was seriously ill, and she had been asleep for so long, so she could only be reluctantly poured some liquid food. Therefore, Mrs. Hou's body is actually not very good, and she still needs to cultivate well.

Therefore, Mrs. Hou was not able to go out in foreign affairs, although Lu Nanxi is a good person, there are many sisters who know each other.

But after all, she is a child, her mother is not in good health, she is recuperating at home, of course, she is not good at going abroad, and she has to accompany Mrs. Hou.

So much so that Miaomiao made a fuss, and it has been spreading in the capital for a while. The people of the Hou Mansion still don't know anything about it.

In the end, when the second lady was out socializing, she overheard someone talk about it. Miaomiao is so famous, which is not a good thing for most people in the Hou Mansion. But for the second lady, this is not the case.

The second lady has the same surname as the old lady, and her maiden name is Xining, and this Shi Xining can be regarded as a rare clever person in the Pingyang Hou Mansion. She was also raised as a boy at home, and the second lady was originally told by the old lady to Pingyang Hou to make her a clan wife.

The second lady and her father, the elder brother, also acquiesced to this. The second lady has often come to live in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and she is not too shy about growing up as a girl.

Everyone in the capital acquiesced that the second lady was going to marry the Marquis of Pingyang. Later, when the old Mrs. Pingyanghou, that is, the old lady's mother-in-law, died, the second lady was already sixteen years old, and she waited for Pingyang Hou for two years.

Pingyang Hou himself also acquiesced in this family business, and his attitude towards Mao Xining was also very close on weekdays. Everyone thought that after the Marquis of Pingyang became filial piety, he would be interested in Shi Xining.

But who knows, Pingyang Hou is obsessed with Mrs. Hou, and he wants to marry Mrs. Hou as his wife. The old lady was definitely unwilling, and said that it was enough to let Mrs. Hou be a noble concubine.

But Pingyang Hou is determined to marry Mrs. Hou as his wife, and he is on a hunger strike, and he wants to become a monk. Parents are always unable to resist their children. However, Shi Xining's reputation has also been ruined, and she is getting older.

The old lady felt that she didn't know how to explain to the second lady and her brother. However, Mao Xining took the initiative to stand up at this time and proposed that since Pingyang Hou was unwilling, forget it.

As for his marriage... Mao Xining claimed that he had a good impression of his second cousin for a long time, but he was only suppressed because of the marriage contract. Now it's a mistake, I hope the old lady will be perfected.

The old lady was so moved when she saw her niece like this, but she didn't believe her words, but thought that her niece didn't want to embarrass herself, so she endured the humiliation.

However, things have come to this point, although she is very unbearable for her niece, but the old lady still agrees to this solution after asking her second son's opinion.

It just so happened that Mao Xining said that he was married to the Hou Mansion, but it was only verbal, and he didn't actually say who it was. So the old lady said that she was the second son, and she was married to her niece. Although I know each other, I feel that something is wrong. But most people don't think much about it.

But although outsiders don't understand the reason, and this inner filth. But the old lady was clear in her heart. Because of these things, the old lady was very guilty of whether she was forced to marry her second son who was forced to marry her brother's daughter-in-law, or her niece who had been waiting for many years but was abandoned.

With the heart of making up for the two children, not to mention how much the old lady privately subsidized the second room. And after Mrs. Hou entered the door, the old lady hated this vixen who seduced her son and lost her mind, and even ignored her own mother.

Although his son had no choice, he still let Mrs. Hou enter the door. But the old lady was very disgusted with Mrs. Hou. In addition to sincerely making up for her niece, the old lady actually had the intention of suppressing Mrs. Hou to give her a good look.

Therefore, after Mrs. Hou and the second lady entered the door one after another, it stands to reason that the old lady should slowly hand over the authority in her hand to Mrs. Hou. But the old lady didn't, just gave Mrs. Hou a small part.

And the old lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she will not leave a handle on what she does. The old lady did not directly hand over the affairs to her niece. Instead, he said that his body was sometimes uncomfortable, so let the second lady help take care of it.

In this way, although the second lady has a lot of power on her mobile phone, it is difficult for anyone to find fault with the old lady. In addition, Mrs. Hou is also useless, and there is nothing else to be good at except that face.

She can't take care of the affairs of the family at all, and not only does she not know, but she also drags her feet. Mrs. Bai knew her daughter's temperament and chose a mother-in-law for her who could take care of things.

Mrs. Hou is stupid, but her mother is not stupid. Mrs. Bai's mother-in-law to her daughter is also very capable. They can actually take care of things.

But Mrs. Hou herself is a person who can't figure it out, and if someone makes a mistake, she asks her, no matter what the mistake is, she pretends to forgive mercifully.

There is no punishment for making mistakes and fishing for oil and water, and the people below are becoming more and more arrogant. The house is getting more and more chaotic, and it all goes to the old lady.

The old lady didn't want to be a villain, so the old lady directly told her son the ins and outs of the matter. After careful investigation, Pingyang Hou found that Mrs. Hou was indeed too bad.

It's just that at that time, the two had just gotten married, and it was a time when they were in love with each other. Pingyang Hou was willing to lose his temper with Mrs. Hou, but he was reluctant to lose his temper, but Pingyang Hou directly deprived Mrs. Hou of her authority.

The reason given by Pingyang Hou is that since you can't do it well, don't do it. You must be tired of worrying about those things, and I will feel distressed. From now on, you don't have to do anything. Just stay with me?

Mrs. Hou not only did not complain at all, but was very happy, and often showed off her husband's favor to others.

Not to mention the people outside, the eyes of her look are like looking at a fool. After the Marquis of Pingyang withdrew the authority of Mrs. Hou, he returned them all to the old lady.

The old lady looked at Pingyang Hou with a worried look on her face, and said with a smile.

"Your mother and I are old now, and we don't have so much energy. You've heard it before, and I'm going to have to bother your cousin to take care of this little thing myself. ”

"If you leave these things to me, maybe you still want your cousin to take care of it for me?"

Pingyang Hou is not without guilt towards Mao Xining, but he loves Mrs. Hou too much and just wants to marry her, so he can only be sorry for his cousin.

However, although Pingyang Hou is particularly in love, he is not inhumane? He also wanted to make up for Mao Xining, and Mrs. Hou was really useless, so he also acquiesced to Mao Xining's master.

In this way, the matter of the second lady in charge of the family can be regarded as acquiesced by the people of the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Although outsiders envy Mrs. Hou for such an age, she is still favored by Pingyang Hou. But in fact, in this Pingyang Hou, Mao Xining, the second lady, has a much better life than Mrs. Hou.

Although Mao Xining and Xianggong are not as well-known as Mrs. Hou and Marquis Pingyang. But the relationship between the two of them is actually very good, although her husband Lu Qingsong is not as handsome as Pingyang Hou, but he is also dignified.

Although Lu Qingsong is not very good at sweet words, he is not very good at creating surprises. But he is really good to Mao Xining, and after being married for so many years, he has never lost his temper with Mao Xining.

The only concubine was also Mao Xining, who had never been pregnant before, and Mao Xining took the initiative to give her dowry maid to Lu Qingsong. Later, Mao Xining had a son, and Lu Qingsong never went to the concubine to spend the night.

Xianggong is good to himself, Mao Xining has rights, and his mother-in-law is her own aunt, and she wants to make up for herself, so she is surprisingly good to herself. Such a day, for a married woman, is basically a fairy day.

Some people who are familiar with Mao Xining and know the truth of the year also said that Mao Xining was bitter first and then sweet. Although there are some twists and turns in family affairs, she is living such a good life now, and she is blessed.

Mao Xining smiled and echoed the other party, but in fact, in his heart, he didn't think so.

Mao Xining never believed in any illusory blessings, she went from almost not being able to get married and being pointed at by others, to today, in fact, she planned it step by step.

In fact, even Mao Xining's parents didn't know that Mao Xining actually didn't have any feelings for Pingyang Hou. wants to marry him, it's just the words of the matchmaker of his parents. The important thing is that Pingyang Hou itself is also in good condition.

He is also handsome, and his temper is also gentle. Besides, he will inherit the title and become a marquis in the future. My mother-in-law is my own aunt, and her life will definitely not be bad after marrying.

As for waiting for the old Pingyang Hou to show filial piety, it is not a kind of infatuation. Instead, Mao Xining believes that there will be no changes in family affairs, and his wait should be worth it.

However, Mao Xining believes not in Pingyang Hou, but in the old Pingyang Hou, and his aunt. But who would have thought that Pingyang Hou would make such a fuss that he would even go on a hunger strike and become a monk.

When he heard the news of Pingyang Hou's troubles, Mao Xining already had an ominous premonition in his heart. However, Mao Xining did not panic, and went to ask Pingyang Hou in person.

When he got a categorical answer like Pingyang Hou. Mao Xining went to see the old lady again. Seeing that the old lady often avoided her gaze and looked a little weak-hearted, Mao Xining already had a result in her heart.

Even so, she didn't break down. Instead, he calmed down and thought carefully about his way out. Mao Xining understood that before he understood it, he had been closely linked to the Pingyang Hou Mansion. If you can't get married, your marriage will be in danger.

Mao Xining is eighteen years old, and there are very few girls who are not married at this age. Coupled with her reputation, Mao Xining knows herself. Or you just can't get married. If you want to marry, you can only be a steproom, or you can marry low.

Of course Mao Xining was unwilling, she thought of a way all night. The next day, while pretending not to know anything, she quietly seduced Lu Qingsong.

Mao Xining is actually very good at being a person, and she is also very beautiful. In fact, Lu Qingsong originally had a good impression of her, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of his identity. Pingyang Hou made trouble. Lu Qingsong also knew.

Because of this, he had a lot of pity for Mao Xining. Under such a prerequisite, Mao Xining had the heart to seduce him, and soon captured Lu Qingsong's simple young man's heart.

Later, Mao Xining deliberately induced the old lady to make her think. I didn't want her aunt to be embarrassed, so I wronged myself to marry Lu Qingsong.

In the matter of being in charge of the family later, the old master thought that he was using Mao Xining, but he didn't know that everything was intentional by Mao Xining.

More than 20 years ago, Mao Xining already had such scheming methods. With more than 20 years of intrigue in the Hou Mansion, Mao Xining has also made a lot of progress, and he is far better than he was back then.

When Mao Xining heard the news, he still had a smile on his face and talked to people. In fact, in her heart, she began to think about the pros and cons of this matter at a flying speed, as well as the deeper implications.

Unlike most people in the Hou Mansion, including the old lady, the longing for Lu Nanxi to become the second imperial concubine is different. Mao Xining was a little uneasy about this

High rewards come with high risks. Is it so simple to take the heir? Even if the Pingyang Hou Mansion is too wasteful, it is basically useless to seize the heir.

But if Lu Nanxi marries the second prince, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is a natural faction of the second prince. If the second prince succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, the first person to be liquidated is the second princess's maiden family.

And Mao Xining felt that it was not that he looked down on Pingyang Hou. With his ability, even if the second prince ascends the throne, he will not be reused, at most he will be crowned a Duke of Cheng'en, or if Lu Nanxi is lucky enough to become the queen.

However, Mao Xining thinks that it is unlikely. Concubine De Niangniang in the palace couldn't see it on Lu Nanxi's face.

But just because she never mentioned the matter of getting married, she can see with only a little heart that Concubine De is not satisfied with this daughter-in-law. And I heard that Concubine De has a good impression of Cai Shangshu's daughter and often sends her into the palace.

There really is a day when I don't know who is the queen? The concubine's maiden family is not qualified to be knighted.

Therefore, Mao Xining felt that even if the second prince succeeded, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion would not get much benefit. And the most important thing is that Mao Xining feels that with the relationship between the big house and the second room, Lu Nanxi's girl will definitely not help the second room.

If the Pingyang Hou Mansion is successful, it will not be of much benefit. But if you fail, you may be ruined. Mao Xining also said these things to the old lady, but the old lady was very stubborn in this regard, and it was useless for Mao Xining to say anything.

The Hou Mansion insisted on going his own way, and Mao Xining could only find a way to break the situation by himself. However, this time the matter is really tricky, and Mao Xining is also very worried. However, Miao Miaomiao's incident gave Mao Xining inspiration.

If Lu Nanxi's true identity is exposed, then her identity will definitely not be able to be the second prince and concubine. Moreover, the relationship with the Marquis of Pingyang is not as close as that of his biological daughter.

However, Mao Xining didn't plan to do it directly to Lu Nanxi, she planned to use Miaomiao's side as a breakthrough. It just so happens that Miaomiao is already in the limelight, and Mao Xining is again...
